Just curious; how fast do these cuties grow?? I mean, what's NORMAL? I have had mine approx 2 weeks now... and OH>>> MY>>> GAWWWWWD!!! LOL!! They have grown nearly an inch!!! I measured them just to be sure I wasn't seeing things. @_@ I have been feeding them garden worms and they are putting on good weight, their skin is thickening, and length speaks for itself! I am absolutely amazed at how fast our lil babies are growing. I am already looking into a bigger setup, as I fear they will be too big before we are done building our dream axie tank.:eek: What has been your experience with your lotls? Has anyone ever had theirs grow soooo quickly? :D

Yeah, that's about normal. They grow very quickly in the first couple of months.

Sorry it has been soooo long since my last post. Our computer went kaput! :O Have been without for months and have just only managed to get a new one. Our babies LOL "babies" are now about 7 inches long, rough estimate. Will be posting pics as soon as I can. I've got to dig up the USB lead to the camera. :D Once uploaded hoping for help on sexing them. I am guessing two boys, but am not an expert by any means!! Tis great to be back!! :p

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
